No way. Relational engine must navigate through it's structures like hell to find the data, it's just that the end user doesn't have to know everything about it. And there lies a problem: you may be an owner of a shitty RDB implementation.

There are good uses for relational databases and other technologies as well. And this is a technical issue, I don't see the point in using parables.
